South Valley University (SVU), covers a large
area in Upper
Egypt and distributed in three Governorates
(Qena, Luxor, and the Red Sea).
SVU main campus is located in Qena, a city which
is 600 km south Cairo. Other campuses are in
Luxor and Hurghada (The Red Sea). The University
includes a total of 16 Faculty and one
Institute.
Teaching in the University, a former branch of
Assiut University, began in October 1970. SVU was
separated from Assiut University on January 2,
1995 by decree No.142.
As compared to its weight, SVU is committed to a
big social service role in the region of
Upper Egypt. SVU is a vibrant, nationally
recognized student-centered, research
institution with an enrollment of 30,500
in the Academic Year 2011/2012. The University
attracts students from every governorate of
Egypt and some other countries. Its more than
1,500 faculty members have been trained at some
of the world's finest institutions and they
bring to the University a global perspective
that enhances the learning environment.
As a matter of fact, for a complete period of 17
years as an independent university, SVU has been
serving the mission of a distinguished
institution, to comprise its cultural,
educational, and service commitment. Needless to
say, being a good neighbor and a valued member
of the community is one of its highest
priorities.
